I Don't Agree to the Terms-Chapter 1091 - 573: Noah’s Ark Relocation Plan 2

'The leaves of the World Tree at this stage are too large, unlike before, when they were only as small as a palm.'

'Forget it, let's plan slowly.'

Gu Shanhai knew that it was impossible to come up with a solution immediately; he had just arrived, and developing a corresponding plan was unrealistic.

'But, I've already reached the anchoring point, so why hasn't my future self transmitted the knowledge back yet?'

'Is it because of concerns about the risk of the Dual-star Celestial Body?'

Under normal circumstances, he would likely have started receiving the information by now. Of course, that's under normal circumstances, and the current situation is clearly abnormal.

'So, does this mean there really is danger?' Gu Shanhai deduced this possibility by reasoning backward from the result.

There might be another possibility, which is that his future self is unable to accomplish this task, so everything he's doing is just his own idea.

However, he felt that this possibility was not significant. At least in the field of time research, with the book "If Time Could Return" and the pages of the Time History Book, the success rate is close to ninety percent.

Therefore, timing being inappropriate is the most probable reason.

After wandering around for a while, Gu Shanhai returned to his residence. He had gathered enough data; now he needed to develop a plan that could completely pack and take away the leaves of the World Tree without alarming the Dual-star Celestial Body.

"It's hard," Gu Shanhai sighed. This task would at least take a few years.

Time flew by, and a month had passed away. Gu Shanhai stayed cooped up at home until someone knocked on the door and brought him back to his senses.

"I thought you were cursed and died at home during your last mission, but it turns out you were too absorbed in research," a grumpy elf complained as he looked at Gu Shanhai, who opened the door.

"Is there anything wrong?"

After complaining, the elf still asked with concern.

Gu Shanhai shook his head and then asked, "No, Noc Fu, is today not the day for my mission?"

"Actually, it was the day before yesterday. Normally, you are very punctual. This time you were two days late, so I had to come and check on you." Noc Fu sighed in relief seeing that everything was fine.

"If necessary, you can also take an extra round of rest."

Noc Fu didn't make any strong demands. In fact, the elves weren't punished for not completing their tasks; it was all based on self-discipline.

However, in such an environment, all the elves were very self-disciplined. A delay of two days, like Gu Shanhai's, wasn't seen as laziness in the eyes of other elves; it was either unintentional cursing and harm or research reaching a critical point, making it impossible to go on a mission.

"No need, the difficulty is significant, and breaking it shortly isn't easy; I just got a bit too engrossed," Gu Shanhai truthfully said.

This challenge was not the Deep Sea Turbine Ice Bomb, but his Noah's Ark demolition plan.

Indeed, this thing was the Elf Clan's version of Noah's Ark, so Gu Shanhai naturally named it as such.

"Alright, here is the latest batch of world coordinate points. Choose one, and after getting equipped, prepare to head out. This time, because of your delay, there won't be any teammates, so remember to prioritize your safety. If you encounter danger, it's best to leave immediately," Noc Fu handed a list to Gu Shanhai while giving some advice.

Gu Shanhai glanced at it and casually tore off a coordinate from the list, then nodded and said, "Understood, I'll go immediately."

He naturally didn't intend to refuse; that would make him seem too outlandish. Being a fake, even if his replacement technology was seamless, it was best to stay low-key and avoid any behaviors that might not fit his identity.

Noc Fu didn't say anything else after this and left after Gu Shanhai returned the list. He also had a lot to deal with. Normally, Gu Shanhai would go to his office to get things, but since he didn't come, Noc Fu came to check on his safety.

After Noc Fu left, Gu Shanhai casually shut the door and went straight to gear up.

It was definitely not okay to leave like this; you had to receive the approved gear first. If the gear didn't meet the standards, you weren't allowed to leave.

Meeting the standard wasn't about combat power. It meant an overall qualification: one couldn't just choose firearms and armor. It had to cover various aspects like medicine, construction, survival, and more.

The intent was more to ensure the elves' safety and return rather than for the sake of resources.

The equipment acquisition went smoothly. Gu Shanhai quickly got his gear according to Simoko's usual configuration.

Assembling your own gear might be better, but he didn't lack the auxiliary tools. Even if all the equipment was destroyed, returning would still be easy for him, considering he was not the real Simoko, but a counterfeit.

"Wait, there's something else to mention. You were late last time, so you surely don't know yet," someone called out to him just as he was about to leave.

"Is there a problem with this batch of world coordinates?" Gu Shanhai's first thought was this possibility.

"It's not exactly a problem; it's just quite challenging. There might be surviving natives, and they are strong, leading to a possible presence of Ghost Hunters." The other person didn't hold back any information.

"Where did the news come from? Is there any evidence?" Gu Shanhai had to ask to fit his identity.

"The news came from elves who returned yesterday. Three teams have already come back, all encountering Ghost Hunters. Fortunately, they contacted the natives in time and brought back a lot of supplies." The other person shared all the information.

"No wonder Noc Fu advised me to leave promptly. I thought it was concern, but it turns out there's just plain danger."

"He's busy as can be. It's already good that he told you that much. The detailed intelligence is..." The elf briefly described and then detailed the reports from the elves' team that returned yesterday.

The mission wasn't very urgent. For the Elf Clan, the safety of an elf took precedence over completing a mission.

Unless there was an unavoidable need to adventure for acquiring enough knowledge and resources, which couldn't be replaced, elves wouldn't be sent on dangerous missions.

"I didn't expect them to be so strong. I plan to change my equipment to prepare for potential crises," Gu Shanhai timely expressed his request.

If he had suggested a change earlier, perhaps no elf would have noticed, but that would still be a loophole. Now, with a legitimate reason, it was easier to handle.

"Certainly, no problem. You can choose for yourself," the other elf was quite pleased, as Gu Shanhai's focus on his safety was perceived positively.

He didn't suspect cowardice; if someone truly feared, they could become a high-level official, handle administrative tasks daily, and live without danger, although that meant losing freedom and enduring a non-stop, no-vacation job akin to a high-performance calculating machine in the form of an elf.

Gu Shanhai quickly addressed the shortcomings in his gear setup. After putting it on, he looked like a smaller giant.

Reinforced alloy chainsaw, magic gun, Behemoth Combat Armor, and a series of equipment fully armed him.

Meeting the standard was sure, Gu Shanhai considered it very thoroughly.

"Your set looks great. Mind if I take notes for recommendations?" The elf asked as Gu Shanhai got ready to traverse worlds, seeking his authorization.

"Of course, go ahead," Gu Shanhai wasn't stingy; it wasn't anything confidential, just combinations of equipment.

Gu Shanhai was heading to tear the area near the world coordinates to cross worlds. Naturally, crossing worlds had to be done at designated locations; it wasn't permissible just anywhere; otherwise, it would cause unnecessary damage to the Ark away from home.
